Hi,

> bash-2.05b$ uname -a
> CYGWIN_NT-5.1 CORINNA 1.3.15(0.63/3/2) 2002-11-07 13:57 i686 unknown

thank you, Corinna, for this hint. It works also with me.

However, if you do

bash-2.05b$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 PC4265 1.3.15(0.63/3/2) 2002-11-07 13:57 i686 unknown
bash-2.05b$ cd c:/tmp
bash-2.05b$ pwd
c:/tmp
bash-2.05b$ /bin/pwd
/cygdrive/c/tmp

Cygwin/bash does not recognize c:/tmp as a windows path name. I am not sure,
if 
it is supposed to do, but perhaps you can tell me.

If you do however

bash-2.05b$ cd 'c:\tmp'
bash-2.05b$ pwd
/cygdrive/c/tmp

the pathname c:\tmp is recognized as windows pathname and implicitely
converted.

Thanks for your help,

Regards, Norbert
